Acoal mine collapsed in
northern Turkiye on Wednesday, and at least one miner was injured and taken to
hospital, Turkish media reported. It was unclear how many miners remain
trapped.
NTV television reported that rescue
teams were dispatched to the mine near the town of Eregli, in northern
Zonguldak province. The cause of the collapse was not immediately known.
Turkiye's worst mine disaster was in
2014, when 301 miners died after a fire erupted inside a coal mine in the town
of Soma, in the west of the country. Last year, an explosion in another coal
mine in northern Turkiye killed 41 people.
